x-[2x-(((2-x)/3)-1) ] =3
.
x-[2x-{ ( (2-x)/3 ) -1} ] =3
.
x-[2x - {(2-x)/3} +1} ] =3
.
x-2x +{ (2-x)/3} -1 =3
.
x-2x +2/3 -x/3 -1 =3
.
-1.33x = 3 +1 -2/3 = 3.333
.
x= - 2.5
.
.
check, subst (-2.5) in original
.
-2.5-[2(-2.5)-(((2-(-2.5))/3)-1) ] =3
.
-2.5 -[ -5 -(((4.5)/3)-1)] =3
.
-2.5 - [-5-(1.5-1) ] =3
.
-2.5 -[-5 -(.5) ]
.
-2.5- [-5-.5] =3
.
-2.5 -[-5.5] = 3
.
-2.5 +5.5 =3,,,,,,ok
